Shadows do not discriminate
They stay and change
Sometimes they go away
Hide in the darkest nights
And live in the brightest days

If I took your shadow
I could not tell
If you were black or white
Had scars
Tattoos
Or hair that was blue
Our form is more or less the same

If I saw your shadow again
I wonder
Could I tell you apart?

I played with words
much like I fed the birds

    one morsel here
          another there

then suddenly became aware

they pulled together
     and made sense

have been a player ever since

It Takes Two

    When you fall in love
It's no longer just about you
Love is a commitment
It takes two

When things go wrong
You have to see it through
You can't just throw it all away
It takes two

You have to know your loved
One by heart
You should know when they
Are blue
Know what it takes to make
Them smile
It takes two

Know that the best gift in
Life is love
And always be true
Never turn your back on love
It takes two

Don't let your love fade
Find away to keep it new
Always give your love your heart
It takes two

Know the warning signs
When trouble is about to brew
Think before you speak
It takes two

Have faith in God and family
They will always be there
For you
And remember always remember
It takes two
